The 2nd round games on the world map with unlimited forts leave very little chance to the player going second obtaining a victory.

Bad choice of settings in my opinion

Perhaps it takes going second in both your games to appreciate the fact.

Well done to my opponent for making the most of his first go and for appreciating the hopeless (ney impossible) situation that I was up against.

'very little chance' is an overstatement imo.

I started 2nd in both my games, winning in one game, losing in the other, which probably had more to do with the amazing starting position of my opponent.

But going second may give a slight advantage yes.It would be fair to go both first and second in the next round.

Sorry, I was just changing it up a bit, and I admit it doesn't always go as planned... Perhaps I should've thought about that harder, so sorry about that. But its to late now... I hope you enjoyed being involved in the tournament while you were in it...

No problem and yes I enjoyed being involved.

Like somebody said, it is possible to win on that map with them settings whilst going second.

Sorry to let my frustrations get the better of me.

The Whole Sha-Bang! - Round 2: Barry Zuckerkorn vs DBandit70

the games are split -- need game 3.

Also, an interesting note, in both games the starting player won in less than 10 rounds...
